I Am The Omega's Mate (On Hold)

Chapter 5: Burning Up

I stared up at the ceiling, one hand in Levi's hair, as his head was on my chest, the other gently touching the large bandage that was on my neck. Slow, deep breaths moved Levi's shoulders, telling me he was asleep. His arms were wrapped around my waist, legs intertwined with my own. My fingers ran through his silky black hair, the action was helping soothe my inner turmoil.

This man was my mate, and I wouldn't change that for the world. The only problem was our rankings, and it killed me to even think that. My father would never allow an omega to be my mate, let alone become Alpha of our pack. I knew I wanted nothing other than a life with Levi, and I was sure I couldn't live without him. But I knew that my father had a deep hatred for the man I was falling so deeply in love with.

So the question was, did I want to be punished by my pack to be with the one and only mate that I will ever get, or did I want to ignore my fate and become Luna with a male wolf chosen by my father? I knew what I would decide in the end, but I wasn't quite ready to come to terms with my reality.

Suddenly, Levi began to stir, his arms tightening ever so slightly. He yawned, his eyes squeezed shut but he turned his head so he was facing me. Now I could see his grey orbs, that held so much emotion. Love, happiness and contentment.

"Hello, beautiful." Levi's voice was husky, and I smiled at his adorable bed head and sleepy eyes.

"Hi." I murmured, raking my fingers through his hair. "How was your nap?"

"It was good, I love having you next to me." He sat up, and pulled me to his chest. My arm was around his torso, with my head against his chest as he leaned against the headboard. "I seemed to sleep more peacefully. Not that I didn't sleep fine before we met, but just now I felt more...complete."

I looked up and smiled at him, inching forward to press a long and warm kiss to his lips. Levi held the back of my neck, his touch gentle and fingers warm. The kiss became passionate, holding so much emotion that my heart began to pound within my chest. My body was reacting to his. There was a constant rushing in my ears, sounding like an ultra sound detecting a baby's heartbeat. Every place on my body that connected with Levi, felt like the satisfying feeling of standing near a fire on a cold night. The warmth of him was seeping through my clothes.

Levi slowly pulled his head back, looking at me with such emotion, showing me the integrity of his happiness in that very moment. Suddenly, I felt shy, overwhelmed by the intensity of the position of our feelings. I looked down at his bare chest, lifting my hand to gently trace unpremeditated images with my index finger above his heart. With three of his fingers, Levi gingerly lifted my chin to connect our eyes.

"Don't look away from me, my love." He murmured, and I nodded softly. Levi brushed a tendril of hair out of my face and behind my ear, watching the motion has he did so. I bit my lip as I watched him. I couldn't help but look at his full lips, his strong jaw and straight nose. I looked into his grey eyes to find him looking at my mouth lustfully. Levi's thumb traced my bottom lip, pulling it from in between my teeth. "Don't do that."

"Why?" I whispered, my eyes flickering back and forth between his eyes and lips. A growl reverberated within his chest, and my heart rate picked up while a feeling of light pressure settled in a very intimate area. I suddenly felt like I was floating, and I slowly shut my eyes to embrace feeling. Levi inhaled deeply through his nose, and in a flash had me straddling his torso.

"You're in heat." He whispered, his voice thick and husky. In the moment, Levi looked unbearably sexy. The way his hair was perfectly disheveled. The light stubble that dusted his jaw line. How his muscles would flex beneath the warm pigment of his skin. His abdomen seemed to be carved from stone, even by Michelangelo himself. This man before me was pure perfection.

"How can you tell?" I asked Levi, looking down at him through hooded eyes. I let my finger dance along the soft skin of his chest, and he shivered underneath me. I felt something stiff begin poking into my inner thigh, and I smirked looking down at my exquisite mate.

"You look like you are ready to jump my bones, that is how I can tell." Levi growled, and I giggled while grinding my hips into him. He groaned, and flipped me over so he was in between my legs. Levi stared down at me, his hands on either side of my head. I couldn't help but gaze at his face, lust seeping from every pore on my body.

Leaning down, Levi's face was closer to mine, and I closed my eyes preparing for a kiss. But instead I felt his lips press against my fore head, and he pulled back concern etched into his features.

"You're burning up, love." He whispered, pulling away and scooping me up into his arms bridal style. Levi carried me to the bathroom, and placed me on the counter. "Get undressed sweetheart." 

My heart began to pound, and I felt all jittery inside. But there was a small part of me that was urging me to stop. Everything was hazy, and I couldn't decipher what part of me was the lucid part. I undressed myself in a daze, focusing on nothing but the sound of the large tub filling up. I stood in my bra and underwear, which happened to be a lacy set.

"Do you want me to take this off too?"I asked, slipping the strap of my bra down my shoulder. I cocked my head to the side when Levi looked at me, feeling my hair brush against the small of my back.

"I could find a bathing suit for you to change into..." Levi said, and I nodded. He quickly left the bathroom, and I slid to the floor with tears in my eyes. I was being stupid, I knew I was, but I was upset because he didn't even look remotely attracted to me. I know I am basically stuck in a hurricane of hormones, but that didn't make me feel any less dejected.

To Be Continued. I'm sorry it's so short, I just wanted to get an update out there for you guys.
